In the March 2024 issue of Harper’s Bazaar USA, there’s a dope photo essay titled “Sharp Turns” featuring the Danish model Mona Tougaard in the buff, snapped by Oliver Hadley Pirch. The whole idea was to showcase sick modern architecture and sickening images that scream luxury and style. Carlos Nazario, the stylist for the shoot, was killing it as the mag’s stylist at the time.

Mona Tougaard was rocking it topless, as well as in outfits with sexy cutouts and complex shapes that accentuated her figure and added drama to the pics. This was all about the play of light and shadow, and the use of contrasting decorative elements. Ryan Mitchell was in charge of the hair, and Kanako Takase was handling the makeup. Together, they created images that totally fit the “sharp turns” vibe.

This photo project’s vibe is all about bold and innovative fashion that’s still got those classic roots, but is also pushing boundaries. Mona Tougaard, already a big deal in the modeling world for her unique style and charisma, was the perfect choice to bring this photo shoot to life.
